New Recipe: Bacon & Veggie Fried Rice

Happy Tasty Tuesday!

Last week I was in the mood for hibachi, so I decided to bring the hibachi to my house by making my own fried rice. This dinner was very easy to make and only used two pots, so I saved time on dishes when I was done too. Plus it has so many delicious flavors that you will never want to go out for fried rice again!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1 pkg of bacon

3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce

4 clove garlic, minced

1 2-inch piece of ginger, minced

1 tsp red pepper flakes

1 pkg frozen broccoli

4 cups brown rice

1/4 cup low sodium chicken broth

3 eggs

Directions:

In a large skillet cook bacon over medium/high heat until crisp and crunchy. Remember to pour the grease in a jar and not down the drain because it will clog your pipes. Transfer cooked bacon to a side plate. Using a knife, chop cooked bacon into smaller pieces and set aside.

In a pasta pot boil rice according to box/package directions and drain.

In the skillet used to make the bacon, add garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and vegetable oil and cook on low for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

While garlic is cooking, microwave broccoli according to package directions. When broccoli is cooked, add it to the skillet and combine with garlic mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes on medium low heat until broccoli crisps up a bit.
